Download Videos from Youtube

Hi Friends,

You have a presentation to be given and you need a video. You have located the video in youtube and want to download it. Sadly, you can view it in your browser but cannot download it. Is there any way out?

Well, if you search in internet you will probably find some sites saying paste the URL and get the video downloaded. You try it, but its not working.

I have a solution that works 100%. I use Mozilla Firefox for browsing. I love firefox. It is 100 times better than Microsoft Internet explorer. I strongly recommend firefox. believe me you will also love it.

After installing firefox go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
here, you will find an addon to firefox called video downloadhelper.

click 'Add to firefox' to install that. its hardly few kBs. That's it you are now ready to download streaming video content from any websites.

Once you install this you can see three balloons black and white in tool strip of firefox. See the encirled portion of the image given below

As soon as there is a video streaming in your browser, this balloons changes to colour and starts rotating. This indicates that the video being played can be downloaded. Click on the drop down menu near the balloons and you are asked where to save the downloaded video. Give the location. That's it. You are done. Sit back and relax while video download helper downloads the video for you.

What's more: The magic is not over. when the balloon is black and white and you will be presented all the sites from which you can download videos using the download helper. And for those among you who are searching for adult content- there is a check-box in the bottom of the results window of download helper. just select that and see the result for yourself.

Take care
Bye
Wishing you all A Happy and Prosperous New Year

Torrent Downloads

Hi Friends,

For most of you this will be a simple thing. But this is for people who are not aware of torrents.

Torrents are peer-to-peer sharing protocol used to transfer files of different sizes.

In HTTP protocol a dedicated server is required to host a file to offer it for download. i.e dedicated hardware and bandwidth is required. But in torrents this is over come.

Let us take an example. Suppose i have a video to share. I make a torrent and leave the file for upload for a minimum time. Let us assume 4 others downloaded this video and after that i stopped uploading it. Now this 4 will continue to upload it as long as they wish (maybe, when there is free bandwidth available). Thus say, 16 people download and they continue to upload. This chain keeps on going. Thus the availability of that video is ensured even though the creator is no longer uploading the original file. This is in short what torrent download means. Here the money charged to you for hosting a server is saved and you can download for free.

How to:
1. To download from torrent first you need a torrent client. There are many available for free. uTorrent, vuze, flashget etc. I am using vuze now. See screen shot. It has got a pleasing interface. and it gives me good speed also. you can download it from here:
http://www.vuze.com/Download.html

2. Once you have installed a torrent client. you can visit torrent sites and download torrents. Some of the sites are

www.kat.ph
www. isohunt.com
www.piratebay.org
www.sumotorrent.com
www.majaa.net (for indian especially south indian. you will need to register in this site)
go to any of these sites and search for the item you are looking for.

3. Once you find the required item, download that torrent. Open this torrent in the torrent client (vuze in my case) and click the start downloading. That's it you are done. Very soon you will have your favourite movie, song, application or game downloaded. When you search for a torrent if you see more than one, select the one with seeders/leechers(peers) ratio is maximum

seeder: person who has the complete copy of the file u r about to download.
peer: person who is downloading along with you. he is uploading at the same time, but he cannot give you the full file.

Screen shot: The picture above shows vuze in action in my computer. sorry for the poor quality. my download goes up to 210 kBps.



Netiquette: Once you downloaded, don't stop. you should seed to a fair amount. i.e if you downloaded 100mb file, you should upload at least 100mb. This will ensure that the torrent will be alive and others also can download.


End Note: This is a beginners guide to torrents. I will explain in depth about the settings and other things later. Feel free to contact me
